Bio

I’ve always been attracted to the powerful immediacy and storytelling capabilities of photography. I’m compelled to create. I can’t draw, paint, sculpt, or sing. Photography is my chosen method of artistic expression. Photographs are slices of time. We create them through a sorting process. What subject, what to include, and what to crop out of the frame? Whether to choose monochrome or color, digital or analog methods. What is this photograph meant to communicate? More than creating or recording beauty, I hope to present insight into the subject and environment through these choices. Husband. Daddy-to-three. Grandpa. Bodhisattva-in-training. Photographer. Pacifist. Progressive. Geek. Autodidact. Apple whisperer.
